  1. Two of four tall firs to dismantle, chip and remove, went well today. Getting the branches to the chipper was a doddle. Timber lorry comes Thursday.
  2. I hope he survived, absolute nightmare.
  3. A get a few offering over here, as has been said, in tree work there’s no materials to be bought so I always politely decline. Ps.
  4. My situation exactly, after a lean spell I’ve had a few nice jobs come in, but I’m behind on last year.
  5. I know that roundabout fairly well. It is no picnic to negotiate in a vehicle.
  6. Maybe a redwing with the light on it.
  7. The continent would help! I've seached shrikes and thrushes, no matches yet.
  8. I know it’s boring, but it looks a bit like goat/grey willow. The bird is more interesting.
  9. You’ll have to explain the origins of the photo.
  10. Fork out for another man on the ground to help manage traffic.
  11. Buttercups in a poplar plantation leading to the Charente river.
  12. Why not phone them, ask for technical help and put the question to them? Saved yourself 8 days of waiting.
  13. I would take it to an agricultural engineer who understands hydraulics.
  14. Difficult to know where to start with this nonsense. Every sentence is whiny codswallop.
  15. I’ve seen some of his vids, very, very impressive.
  16. Don’t know why, just go on YouTube and put in ‘paddy power fan denial’
  17. Just discovered this, as a footy fan and also a fan of bizarre internet arguments this is pure gold, please, do yourself a favour and give yourself a few minutes of this.
  18. We’ll carry on doing it anyway Bob, after two years of being a nazi about it I can’t backtrack now!
  19. Recommended on 400 hrs (iirc) I’ve delayed it as I could not get my mate in before now. Nearly 600 on it, they were still as smooth as silk though.
  20. AFAIK the turbo diesel thing is because the oil around the turbo is very hot, if you turn it off straight from high revs you can get build up of oil crud that has superheated burnt on to something, this potentially shortens the turbos lifespan. We are religious in our warming down of the ST8.
  21. Not so much broke as routine maintenance. New rotor bearings in the ST8. So far so good.....
  22. It’s not just about money though is it?
